[Bb] .
As the snow flies, [Eb] .
[Bb] [Dm] on a cold and gray Chicago [Eb] morning, a poor little baby [F] child is [Bb] born in the ghetto.
.
And his mama cries, [Dm] cause if there's one thing that she don't [Eb] need, it's another [F] hungry mouth to feed [Bb] in the ghetto.
.
[Eb] [F] People don't you understand, that y [Eb]'all need to [Bb] have a plan, [Eb] you're gonna [F] be an angry old [Bb] man someday.
.
[F] Take a look at you and me, we're [Eb] too blind [Bb] to see, [Eb] you'll be [Bb] separate, turn our [Cm] heads and look the other [F] way.
[Bb] Well the world turns, [Dm] and the hungry little boy with the red nose, [Eb] plays in the street [Dm] as the [Bb] cold wind blows in the ghetto.
And his hunger burns, [Dm] so he starts to roam the streets at [Eb] night and he learns how to [F] steal and he learns how to [Bb] fight in the ghetto.
[F] Then one night in desperation, [Eb] the young man [Bb] breaks free.
[Eb] He buys a [Dm] gun, steals a [Cm] car, tries to [F] run, but he don't get far and [Bb] his mama cries.
[Cm] [Bb] Then his mama cries, [Dm] as the crowd gathers round, an angry young [Eb] man face down in the [F] street with a gun in his [Bb] hand in the ghetto.
And as her young man dies, [Dm] on a cold and gray Chicago morning, [Eb] another little baby [F] child is born [Bb] in the ghetto.
.
And his mama cries, [Dm] on a cold and gray Chicago morning, [Eb] another little baby [F] child is born in [Bb] the ghetto.

In the ghetto.
[Dm] On a cold and gray Chicago morning, [Eb] another little [F] baby child is [Bb] born in the ghetto.

In the ghetto.
[F] On a cold and gray Chicago [Eb] morning, another little [F] baby child is born in [Eb] the ghetto.
